The 5 Best Eco-Friendly Loofahs On Amazon
We’ve shown a lot of love for single-use and disposable items in our quest for living an eco-friendly and sustainable lifestyle. Those products get used and discarded over and over again. That causes a lot of waste. It is easy to pinpoint the items that you might want to get eco-friendly versions of when you are dumping them by the dozens every other weekend. There is a good chance that you are ignoring that there is a whole universe of eco-friendly items on sale that are not the use-and-throw type. Some are made to last you from a moderate to a long amount of time.
Today we are focusing on such an item that is found in the bathroom. Loofahs are not something that everyone uses. However, once you get used to them, having a shower without a loofah feels like something is missing. It is very easy to get used to the added exfoliating and hygienic benefits of scrubbing your skin with a loofah. Everyone will have different preferences for feel and texture. It is something you will develop after you’ve used a few different types. When we recommend natural loofahs, we do so because of all the benefits that come with the natural materials and how they react(or more accurately do not adversely react) with the skin. Who wants to clean themselves with harmful microplastic fibers?
We like our bath experience to be as natural and wholesome as possible. So without further ado, here are our picks for the best natural and eco-friendly loofahs on Amazon
6-Pack Eco-friendly Loofah/Loofa/Mesh Bath and Shower Sponge
This one is made from recycled and recyclable materials. They last about a month before you have to recycle them. They are medium-sized and come with a string to hang them conveniently. The loofahs are available in many different colors which makes it easy to distinguish which one belongs to whom when you buy them in bulk for the whole family. We like these ones because they are recyclable easily. They offer no added benefits apart from that to really be called eco friendly but at this low price, we will take it. These are great starter loofahs that you can try out if you haven’t used this mesh design before. The mesh allows the loofah to create enough foam with just a moderate amount of gel or soap.
Lulu Essentials Natural Loofah Pads
If you are not a fan of the mesh design of loofahs, you can pick these up for a different experience. These ones contain natural Luffa seeds that are handpicked, dried, and cut. They are compressed from the factory and expand when in contact with hot water. These loofahs are a different scrubbing experience compared to the mesh loofahs. They are gentler than the mesh designs. The materials are natural and soft. This is recommended for the people who find the mesh loofahs too coarse or those who have sensitive skin. This one is made by a small US company. They offer full refunds if you are not happy with the product. If you are looking for a truly natural experience, this one is a perfect choice.
Whalelife Loofahs Pouf Ball Nature Bamboo Charcoal Mesh Bulk Puffs Large
These ones are enhanced with the natural goodness of bamboo charcoal. As we have discussed before, bamboo charcoal has been used for centuries in Asia for its amazing properties. It is also used in cosmetics. The bamboo charcoal contributes to the loofah’s exfoliating properties. The product listing claims that using this saves you soap as you need 20% less soap to create the same amount of lather. We definitely believe it as the mesh design is fine and soft to create plenty of lather. It is also very lightweight for its size. This one comes with a free comb in the set.
FAAY 4 Pcs Natural Exfoliating Loofah Sponge
The raw material for this one is grown in Southeast Asia with no GMO or any artificial additives. Since they are all-natural and not made from plastics like the mesh designs, these ones are biodegradable and leave no contamination even after being used. The eco-friendly loofah itself is made from a unique, soft skin-friendly fiber. The natural fiber of the loofah helps to remove dead skin, help promote blood circulation, and decrease the chance of developing pimples. It can also purify your blemishes to keep your skin soft and radiant. The plant is grown by a group of housewives and elderly living upcountry in Thailand. They are paid fair wages for sustainably grown raw materials. The brand cares about its product and is confident enough to offer 100% refunds for anyone who doesn’t find the experience satisfying.
CraftsOfEgypt All Natural Loofah Sponge
These ones are all-natural and eco-friendly. They come in amazing packaging that makes you feel like you are buying something made in a far off land, from a traveling trader in the middle ages. These Egyptian vegan body loofa scrubbers are the complete opposite of the unnatural and artificial plastic mesh design loofahs. Adequate scrubbing with these lets you gently buff off dead, dry skin without chafing, reddening, or irritating. They help cleanse pores and boost circulation. That is going to do wonders for your skin. You can even clean them easily by just throwing them in the dishwasher.
So those were our favorites. I know there might be some confusion between buying an artificial plastic, yet recyclable, loofah, or going for the more expensive but all-natural eco-friendly loofahs. The way we look at it, you should start out with the inexpensive ones. If you like the experience and want to incorporate it into your daily bath routine, then you can upgrade to the natural ones. You can even get the natural ones and use them on special days or sparingly once or twice a week to make them last longer.
Picking the right loofah is easy once you know what you prefer. Just give them a try if you don’t use them already. It will do wonders for your skin in the long term. We promise you that you won’t want to go back!
Love,
Scooch and Steve
